Actor Rick Dalton gained fame and fortune by starring in a 1950s television Western, but is now struggling to find meaningful work in a Hollywood that he doesn't recognize anymore. He spends most of his time drinking and palling around with Cliff Booth, his easygoing best friend and longtime stunt double. Rick also happens to live next door to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate -- the filmmaker and budding actress whose futures will forever be altered by members of the Manson Family.

Like most of Tarantino's work, Once Upon A Time in... Hollywood is eliciting very strong emotions on both sides of the spectrum.

I love this movie... When [director Quentin Tarantino] pulls the ripcord and it goes bananas, it is just so much fun.

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

You can feel the love of cinema in it, but I thought it was fantastically ill-disciplined and indulgent and whole blocks of "DVD extras."

Calum Cooper

Source (Scotland)

It’s still a Tarantino film at heart, but, through the questions he seems to be asking himself, it feels like it was made by someone who has been shaped by age and experience as well.

Rated: 4/5

Chase D Top 3 or 4 Tarantino movie. Some might want a little more action but i’m not one of those people. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Thomas G What needs to be said Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/22 Full Review Suzanne B For me the characters lacked any real soul--the whole movie felt camp and contrived and dismissive and disrespecting of the real tragedy Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/03/20 Full Review Curt S Unnecessary graphic violence detracted from entire story line. Acting was truthfully mediocre and unchallenging for the actors despite multiple awards...totally undeserved! Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/07/20 Full Review Ellen G Did not like this movie at all! Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/20 Full Review SHERI C Excellent acting by Di Capprio and Pitt. A classic Quentin Tarantino flick.
